Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 12

I got some information from the internet about the film but drew a blank on the names of singers. I could not locate the song on YT.

I just came to know (thanks to information given by Khyati Bhatt) that today (9 september) is the birth anniversary of Leela Chitnis (9 september 1909 -14 july 2003). Leela Chitnis was born on 9 september 1909, and that makes her date of birth a perfect 09-09-09 whether you write it in the British style or the US style.

Today (14 july) is the death anniversary of Leela Chitnis (9 september 1909- 14 july 2003). She was one of the pioneers of Hindi cimema during its early days. She was a well educated lady from a respectable family who entered movie world which was till then considered the preserve of courtesans. Her association with Bombay Talkies, where she forged a popular pair with Ashok Kumar gave us some memorable movies as well as memorable songs.

When one has to find details about Hindi movie songs, especially old songs, one has to be quite wary of the authenticity of the information. There are information about old songs that are incorrect. If such an information appears in one site, then it is faithfully cut and pasted by all other sites, and with time it becomes Gospel.

As I discover more songs of ‘Bandhan” (1940), I cannot but help feel that this movie must have stolen the heart of the movie goers during its time and Leela Chitnis would have become a heart throb of public, in case she was not one already. What a lovely performance from her in this movie. In this movie, she plays a playful and cheerful girl who is forever prepared to play a prank or too.
